## **Matinee Minutiae: The Cinema Deep-Dive for True Movie Nerds** Ever found yourself ignoring the plot of a movie because you were too busy wondering why that one character actor looks so familiar? Or maybe you've paused a film just to look up the exact month it was released to see if it coincided with a forgotten snack food launch? If you live for the "Wait, was that...?" moments, **Matinee Minutiae** is the podcast you’ve been searching for. --- ### **What is Matinee Minutiae?** Hosted by **DJ Starsage** and **Matt Burlingame**, this isn't just another "two guys talking about movies" show. *Matinee Minutiae* is a deep-dive expedition into the DNA of film history. While other shows give you a 20-minute recap of the plot, we spend nearly two hours unearthing the trivia, the casting "what-ifs," and the cultural landscape that surrounded your favorite films. From 90s conspiracy thrillers like *The Net* to 80s creature features like *Invaders from Mars*, we treat every film—whether it's a blockbuster or a "forgotten" TV movie—with the scholarly respect and obsessive curiosity it deserves. ### **Why Should You Listen?** * **Beyond the Screen:** We don’t just talk about the movie; we talk about the *year*. Every episode is a time capsule, exploring the world as it was when the film hit theaters (or TV screens). * **The Deepest Dives:** Have you ever wanted to know the connection between Natalie Wood and the studio system in 1965? Or the specific career trajectory of character actors from 1978's *Foul Play*? We do the homework so you don’t have to. * **A "No-Snob" Zone:** We love *The Divine Ms. M* just as much as we love obscure sci-fi and 70s detective wonders. If it’s cinema, it’s worth our minutiae. * **Community-Driven:** Our listeners are as obsessed as we are. Whether it's discussing the legacy of Elvira or debating the best 1980s Halloween candy, the conversation extends far beyond the microphone. ### **The Matinee Experience** Imagine sitting down with two friends who know *everything* about the movie you just watched—and they aren't just telling you if it was good or bad. They’re telling you why that specific director was chosen, which roles were turned down by Hollywood legends, and what the critics were actually saying at the time. **Matinee Minutiae** is the ultimate companion for the cinephile who knows that the most interesting things about a movie often happen when the camera isn't rolling. --- ### **How to Join the Conversation** With over 8 seasons and nearly 170 episodes of trivia-packed content, there is a massive library waiting for you. * **Website:** matineeminutiae.com * **Email:** matineeminutiae@gmail.com * **Find us on:** Apple Podcasts, BlueSky, Odysee, and wherever you get your audio deep-dives. > *"The Matinee Minutiae Podcast is one of the rare gems you're always looking for but can never seem to find. Stop reading this and hit play already!"* — **A Long-time Listener** **Ready to obsess over the details? We’ll see you at the matinee.**
